Čigášová, Patrícia ; Šíma, Ondřej (advisor) ; Obešlo, František (referee)
The bachelor thesis consists of two chapters in which it describes the global financial crisis in connection with theory of division of economy into financial and real sector, and studies possible channels that could transmit problems between them. While analyzing the changes that have occurred in the last period and which contributed to larger spillover of the problems, a fact of developing extensive financial sector emerges. There are many cases of countries that have been extremely dependent on it, therefore little diversified, which could cause high volatility of consumption, GDP etc., since these indicators mirror movements of financial markets. These facts are related to the origin of offshore financial centers, which are also discussed in the thesis. Moreover, there is examined an issue of growth in banks´ assets and excessive providing of credit that leads to larger indebtedness of households. Rise of household debt has been still continuing even after the end of crisis, and is usually connected not only with financial deepening in emerging economies, but also with negative impact on future economic growth. Liabilities of financial institutions consist of high amount of wholesale funds, which resulted in growth of liquidity and systemic risk.
